In its natural environment it develops in large stands on sandy river beds, anchored by rhizomes and thin, creeping stolons, comparable to Cryptocoryne species. Their small, elliptical, shiny leaves they look like those of "Petite" Anubias, but are lighter green in color, the plant also grows faster than Anubias.

It has no special demands and also thrives in medium hard water, medium lighting and a good supply of nutrients through the water column are very beneficial.
